SIT/Frameworks
The Nebraska Department of Education has created two optional educational resources to help with the implementation of the 2019 Nebraska State Social Studies Standards. The first optional resource is the Social Studies Standards Instructional Tool (SIT) which is a spreadsheet containing open educational resources that accompany each K-12 state social studies standard and its indicators. The second optional resource is instructional frameworks that take the social studies standards and put them into the structure of a possible course. Frameworks have been created for 4th Grade Social Studies, 5th Grade US History, 6th Grade Social Studies (Social Studies I), 7th Grade Social Studies-with three possible approaches (Social Studies II), 8th Grade US History, High School Government, High School Economics, High School Geography-with two possible approaches, High School US History, and High School World History. The SIT, Frameworks and three videos explaining them (one elementary, one middle school and one high school) will be available on the NDE Social Studies website soon!
It is the goal of the resources to provide some assistance to social studies teachers as they work hard to teach in these uncertain times.
